The incredible stench of the planets in our solar system
Because they're surrounded by foul-smelling gases that are incompatible with the human sense of smell, living on the surface of these planets is simply impossible because of these toxic emanations...
Scientists had hypothesized this for a long time, but it has now been confirmed. Planets in our solar system such as Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune or Saturn stink of rage. They are indeed surrounded by foul-smelling gases that are incompatible with the human sense of smell. Living on the surface of these planets is simply impossible because of these toxic emanations.
Researchers from the University of Oxford (England) came to this conclusion. They examined the light reflected by the planet with a spectrometer. Each molecule produces a characteristic peak that can be recognized in a graph.
We know that the upper layers of the atmosphere of Uranus and Neptune have been found to be loaded with hydrogen sulfide, a highly toxic, colorless flammable gas with a characteristic rotten egg odor.
Jupiter and Saturn are surrounded by ammonia, a colorless, pungent and irritating gas that burns the eyes and lungs when it's too concentrated.
